Post by VanDSIRROM »

"Acuna is one of three finalists for the National League Rookie of the Year award, it was announced Monday night. Acuna joins the Dodgers’ Walker Buehler and the Nationals’ Juan Soto for the major rookie award given by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. The winner will be announced next Monday."

It will be and should be Acuna, but Buehler's postseason performances unquestionably stamped him as one of the elite young RHP in MLB. If he stays healthy, he's going to be a star.

Agree it should be Acuna. Had Buehler not gotten hit by the line drive earlier in the year, he might have had 12-14 wins and been right up there. I wouldn't worry about him, without some bad injury, he will be a very wealthy young man in a few years.
